Seven thread processing methods explained in detail! Don’t miss it
Threading is a method of processing various internal and external threads with threading tools. There are different methods of thread processing. We have summarized seven thread processing methods for your reference. 1. Thread cutting Generally refers to the method of processing threads on the workpiece using forming tools or grinding tools, mainly including turning, milling, tapping and thread grinding, grinding and cyclone cutting. When turning, milling and grinding threads, every time the workpiece rotates, the transmission chain of the machine tool ensures that the turning tool, milling cutter or grinding wheel moves one lead accurately and evenly along the axial direction of the workpiece. 2. Thread turning Threads can be turned on a lathe using a forming tool or a thread comb. Turning threads with a forming turning tool is a common method for single-piece and small-batch production of threaded workpieces due to its simple tool structure; turning threads with a thread comb tool h...
